<off-topic> Just to clarify a point you keep belaboring, users add discussion forums to my web site - it is not up to me to do so. I don't add empty forums hoping that somebody will fill them up. The fact that there aren't a lot of hot Internet stocks listed would suggest that you are right that the site doesn't get a lot of traffic. But I never contested that, did I? Want to see the usage stats? stockclub.com Not much, you're right. Frankly, I don't have much interest in putting a great deal of effort into a site that gets this little traffic. And just as well, because it would require quite a bit of work to handle greater traffic. Look, I created this thing as a hobby a few years ago, SI came along and did a much better job, and I've pretty-much forgotten about it. I keep it around because it's cheap to do so, it has a good (and probably valuable) domain name, and I MIGHT just decide to revive it at some time. And, in the mean time, there are a few active threads that have developed, and so somebody is getting some benefit from it while it sits there in suspended animation. When I created it, I thought that "tree-structured" discussion was the way to go. But I see now that it seems to just confuse people. I don't see much point in changing it around and creating yet another linear-discussion site, though. When I get a great idea on how to make a tree-structure more approachable by users, you might see some changes. Or not. That's my choice. You're trying to make something out of nothing, PartyTime. You're trying to argue that somehow my criticism of ZULU and ESVS is not valid, because I had an opportunity to create SI but didn't. Can you think of a few things that you could have accomplished, but didn't, because it either didn't work out, or you just didn't have the interest? I just don't see how this has a damn thing to do with ZULU and ESVS. But it has every thing to do with trying to attack me in any way that you can, doesn't it? I mean, if you had a picture of me and Monica, you'd publish it, wouldn't you? If you had embarrasing private information about me, wouldn't you be sharing it with the group right now? Yet, I haven't done that toward you, except a few brief comments relating to your employment - comments that simply echoed things you'd already shared with us - and only when you made MY employment an issue. But since you insist on bringing this subject up again and again, let's ponder for a minute who would be more practical to hire to tout or bash a stock. Would you hire a highly-paid software engineer, who almost certainly would demand a a pay-scale unjustified for the task? Or would you hire somebody who works just some of the time, picking up odd low-paid dictation jobs that he does in his home, types fast, and loves to write? I dunno, PT, use your noodle - which one would YOU hire? If you have further suggestions for my web site, I'd suggest that you use the "Suggestions" thread there, and leave this thread to discussing ZULU and ESVS.
